�*asked �* asked about israel's specifically asked about israel's policies and practices towards palestinians and the legal status of the occupation. this is important to underline, it is an opinion, not a judgment being brought down by the icj and whatever it says today, it is not something legally binding in anyway but to give you a synopsis of what we have heard so far, the court says israel's settlement policies are in breach of international law, it also said that israel's settlement policies and expectation of national resources in the palestinian territories or in breach of international law. as i mentioned, this opinion from the court is not legally binding but does carry significant political weight. a bit of context, israel has occupied the west bank, nutritional and the gaza strip in the 1967 middle east war and as the occupying

power, israel's actions are subject to a detailed set of rules under international law. that is the opinion being put down by the icj in the hague. our security corresponded is across a story and we will talk to him for even more context in a few minutes. let's return to those global it outages hitting industries across the world now. we had from pat mcfadden who said the global outage today was not a security attack or hostile act, it appears to be a software error and the cause was identified and effects put in place. let's speak to daniel teacher, the managing director of t—tech, it specialists who provide services to smaller businesses.

small businesses don't have 2a hour teams and rely on parties like ourselves. it is not quite as agile to rely on these things. you are very dependent on other people and you are at their behest. you very dependent on other people and you are at their behest.— you are at their behest. you have been looking _ you are at their behest. you have been looking into _ you are at their behest. you have been looking into this. _ you are at their behest. you have been looking into this. what - you are at their behest. you have been looking into this. what do l you are at their behest. you have l been looking into this. what do you think of the cause, we know what the causes but how easy is it for this kind of thing to happen again? obviously crowdstrike are not explaining what's going on. it was very interesting, their ceo put out a tweet to say it was a minor bit of software they issued a rogue update but it doesn't matter if it is one line of code that is wrong or all of the code, if it is wrong it causes an issue. they issued an update at 409 this morning. that conflicted

with the microsoft operating system which is what almost everybody uses to do their work. when people have received that update, their machine has become not be usable. it is relatively easy to fix it if you know what you're doing. small companies don't always know. it is a race to go around machines and issue a fix. i am talking to some vendor to support lots of businesses. they are looking to issue more automated fixes. so we don't have to manually go round fix devices one by one. you have been talking to businesses. what are the businesses worst impacted by this? do what are the businesses worst impacted by this?— impacted by this? do you run crowdstrike _ impacted by this? do you run crowdstrike or _ impacted by this? do you run crowdstrike or not? - impacted by this? do you run crowdstrike or not? that - impacted by this? do you run crowdstrike or not? that is i impacted by this? do you run crowdstrike or not? that is a | crowdstrike or not? that is a differential. if you are not running crowdstrike you might have had microsoft challenges but you might have been asleep. crowdstrike is

used by larger businesses, that's why you are seeing in the news lots of airports and financial services people in professional services firms and ironically, crowdstrike, i don't know if you are aware, is a protection tool from cyber attack. you have to have the budget to pay for that. you have to have the budget to pay forthat. people you have to have the budget to pay for that. people who don't have that tool ironically are less impacted by this. but that tool is there to help you in the event of someone trying to attack your network. the you in the event of someone trying to attack your network.— you in the event of someone trying to attack your network. the irony of that is not lost _ to attack your network. the irony of that is not lost on _ to attack your network. the irony of that is not lost on me. _ to attack your network. the irony of that is not lost on me. good - to attack your network. the irony of that is not lost on me. good to - to attack your network. the irony of that is not lost on me. good to talk| that is not lost on me. good to talk to you. thank you very much indeed. you are watching bbc news.

we have to stop the invasion into our country that is killing hundreds of thousands of people a year. the crowd here is energised by donald trump. he has risen right to the top of the republican party again. the support for him here is unquestionable. it's a very different story for his opponent, presidentjoe biden, where support for him seems to be breaking away. his health and fragility is in huge contrast to his death—defying opponent. president of the united states. reports suggest top democrat and close friend nancy pelosi has been telling colleagues that mr biden can be persuaded to exit the race soon. even former president obama, who recently appeared with him at a fundraiser, is said to be worried that his path to victory has diminished. ultimately, it isjoe biden�*s decision, but cracks have appeared in his armour.
